...places. So you know how I've been struggling a little lately with our current lifestyle? Well apparently God thinks I can handle more.

Let me set the scene for you. I was walking around KMart, shopping for various items, and was on my way to look for some magnets for Chanbe to play with on the fridge, when somehow I twisted my foot, tried to correct it, and fell on top of it. I heard a crack and the pain hit me straight away.

So as I was lying on the floor in KMart, politely asking (yelling/crying) for help, Chanbe was sitting in the trolley wondering what on earth was going on. Some staff rushed to my aid and an ambulance was called. I was mortified! But what can you do? I rang Hubs who came down to pick up Chance and the car and they met me at the hospital.

In the ambulance I was given this green tube thing to suck on for pain relief. It. Was. Awesome! I don't know if it was because Hubs works at the hospital, or if their care is always that great, but I seemed to get extra fantastic treatment, getting x-rays, CT scan, diagnosis (2 fractures) and temporary cast in under 3 hours.

Last night I was feeling completely deflated, but am feeling slightly better today. We are currently in Wang and staying with one of the mums from my mothers group who is being amazing, helping to look after Chance, and I've had lots of offers of help that I will have to learn to accept.

Mum is coming down on Sunday to help which will be much needed. I still keep wondering how on earth this happened, but I guess I just have to get on with it. If you believe in prayer, I'd appreciate the support. I know it could be much worse, but I just really didn't need this right now.

The Blog

This blog is about beers or bubbly, and socialising with family and friends, whingeing about random stuff (because really, my life isn't that hard), and my spiritual journey that I feel I am on every day. Oh, and lots of other random nonsense along the way. It's a way of keeping people up-to-date with our day-to-day goings-on (because I'm not a fan of facebook), as well as our adventures far and wide.

Enjoy the ride!

Me stuff

I come from Queensland but have spent the last 5 years calling myself a Victorian. Back in (north-west) Queensland now, I love being a wife to my wonderful Hubs, and a mother to my superstar son and angelic daughter, and adore my family and the way they enrich my life. I am a qualified marriage celebrant and I love weddings as much as Murial. I enjoy cooking and baking and can't wait to have a fully decked-out kitchen with all the trimmings!
